Injustice in the Sealing Fishery Seizures
ReparatiOn Wanted.
OTTAWA, Ont, June Am additional pa
per in relation to the seizure of the British
Columbia whalers in Behring's Sea was
laid before Parliament yesterday. II con-
sists of dispatch from Lord Lansdowne,
dated MAY 2l, to Sir Henry Holland, Sec
retary for the Colonies, transmitting the
views of the Privy Council of Canada on
the subject, based on the report by Hon.
George E. Foster, Minister of Marine and
Fisheries This, after rociting the particu-
lars of the seizure already given, proceeds:
Minister Foster further states that
from information received from the owners
of the seized vessels and from the
collector of customs at Victoria, he learned
hat James Ogllvie, an old man and master
of the Carolina, was arrested along with
the masters and mates of the Onward and
Thornton, and brought into court for trial :;
that before sentence was pronounced ne
was suffered to wander away into the
woods. where he died from exposure, and
that the other masters and mates, after re-
naming several months in prison, were re
leased by order of the Governor of Alaska
and turned adrlft literally destitute to
find their way as best they could To their
homes 1900 miles distant"
Further on the report says ''The owners
of the condemned vessels have received no
information from the United States authori-
ties of the release of their vessels or res
toration of valuable cargoes of sealskins
and equipments on board They fear that
the Indians will nave carried every thng
valuable from the vessels, and if the
owners are compelled to receive them
at Ounalaska, where they were
detained, it Will necessitate the chartcring
of steamer with men and supplies al
great expense and a round voyage OF 1900
miles to bring the vessels To Victoria. The
owners therefore consider this good ground
| for claiming consideration from the United
| States authorities when the question of
reparation is being settled

CAUSE AND No SINGLE NEMG
FOR "HARD TIMES"
Col. Randolph Harrison, Com
missioner of Agriculture for Viz
cinia. will have many things to say
in his forthcoming "Rnlletin."
which will he of great interest to
the farmers. Colonel Harrison ha
Sos his obSt rvation upon the M
mcrous letters he has received from
all PARTS of the State and from the
farming journals of the country
From advanced "proofs" of Col.
Harrison's forthcoming bulletin il
is seen that the general outlook"
questions are clearly and elabo-
rately discussed. Under the cap
ton OF "The General Outlook the
Commissioner at Agriculture says,
among other things:
We find in orr own country the
same diversity Of opinion as to the
causes of and remedies for the
present state of "hard times. (which
threaten t0 become clsranic. The
truth is there is M single cauSc,
and, of course, no single remedy.
But there are some leading princi
pal causes of the decline i'll prices
and suffering among the producing
claSses-some OF them remedial,
others non Legislation is in part
responsible. having brought upon
MS some of our troubles. Others
ara due to natural causes, and will
have to readjuSt themselves accord
ing to the general laws OF supply
and demand"
In addressing himself to the il.
Irritable variety Of products 10
which one can turn his attention in
Virginia, the Commissioners takes
occasion to say upon the subject Of
breeding horses and mules for mar
ket:
Here is an opening for prof ia
Die farming that has been strange
~ neglected by our people, except
in a portion Of the Valley. The
Skilltul breeder Of large coach hor
SEES, for instance, would have Il
sure market at high prices for all
the fine animals he could raise. As
in breeding cattle, sheep hogs, bees.
and i'm every other industry. there
is requisite for success care, close
attention and watchlulneSs, so ii
must he in breeding horses; and
The prize held out to the success
ful breeder is a rich one. a haud
some pair of matched horses is
readily sold in New York at from
5000 NJ, according to action, style,
&c. 1t seems to be not possible to
overStock The market with good
horses. There is never failing
demand in Europe for horses
coach, cavalry, hunters, and they
can be exported at moderate cost
and risk.
Then, having settled IN our
minds What are lie best things for
us to turn our attention 10. we must
study these things, aud also study
our farms III connection with them;
try to make ourselves practically
with all that bears upon
The subject, so that we can conduct
operations III The best way, and get
the best results most surely and at
the least expense"

without murmur by every one
who participated in it. AT least
every one who voted last Saturday,
thereby pledged himself to abide
by the result in Il manner, which
Should be ouly a little less sacred

Men who would wanton'y disregard
their pledge of honor, would not
likely consider any obligation too
sacred to be broken, if it suited
their pleasure OF caprice. That
such alaxity of morals exists among
any considerable portion Of the vo
tiers Of Accomac, we are not pre-
pared to believe. A natural infer
encp, therefore, accompanying that
belief is, that having expressed
their Willingness by their votes for

which has been made in their par
". they are willing to abide by the

Their surport representing us l.
does o.S10 votes, more by several
hundred votes than the combined
Republican votes, as we'll as the
votes of all Democrats who failed
for any reason to exercise the right
of suffrage, leaves no doubt as to
the result of the election on the
fourth Thursday III May. In this
connection The thought recurring
10 MS. IF the objection made by
some Democrats to the plan Of
nominating by a primary election,
he query is presented, why? A pr
mary election is certainly free from
tie imputa'ion Of being controlled
l,y bosses. rings, or cliqueS. No
Tcmocrat is prevented from eNer.
cising the right Of suffrage and no
citizen however humble can say
that his vote is not as potent III
choosing the candidate as that Of
the most lonortd citizen OF the
county. That our people accept
tic method of NJ minatlng at pr,
mary in that spirit, the large vote
cast last Saturday shows conclu-
.ively, and that those who make
objection to it are in such a very
small minority that they cannotre-
fuse to yield 10 the demand of the
bulk Of the party, if true Demo
Gratis. To the few Democrats who
may not be disposed TO yield their
views in the matter the query is
appropriate; Why should not Dem
ociats decide their differences if
Any, by friendly cotest in their
own ranks, and it they are not vii
ling to protect themselves against
their old enemy by such methods,
have they he right to complain if
tlleir Demo cracy is called INTO ques
,ion7 AT least the plan ola prlma-
ry election occurs to us as the only
sure way of promoting harmony in
the Democratic ranks, and Of sc
]ecting candidates acceptable to
CIR panty and the voice OF the pee
pie, as expressed at the polls last
Saturday, will always control our
vote and command our support
There is no doubt of the election
OF the candidates selected at the
primary, but that fact does not re-
!ieve us from the obligation Of Civ
ing them the unanimous support of
the party. Another battle is to be
fought this fall and the victory will
be easier then, if our forces are
kept we'll in training now.
